How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
What is ossilloscope?
Basically, is a device which measures the amplitude and frequencies of a sound wave. It is shown on a screen. Closer waves, higher frequencies. Longer waves, lower frequencies.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
Define the term sound waves?
Waves of sound.
What measures sound waves?
measured by a ruler lol
Why is an oscilloscope used to measure sound waves?
An osciloppe measures oscillations. Oscillations are vibrations. And vibrations are sound waves.
What term is the study of sound and sound waves?
Acoustics.
Which term is defined as the study of sound waves and sound?
The word is acoustics.
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
Do decibels have light waves and sound waves?
The term decibel is a unit of measurement of the loudness of sound. It has nothing to do with light, which is measured in lumens.
What are the variables on a sound spectrogram and how are they measured?
A sound spectrogram measures the frequency and wavelengths of sound waves. The frequency is measured in Hertz and the wavelengths are measured in meters.
Is pitch made up of sound waves?
Pitch is another name for the frequency of sound waves . . . that is, how close the waves are together. Pitch is a term usually used in terms of music.
What is ossilloscope?
Basically, is a device which measures the amplitude and frequencies of a sound wave. It is shown on a screen. Closer waves, higher frequencies. Longer waves, lower frequencies.
What is the term for a substance that a wave can travel through?
For light waves the term is transparent, but there are probably other terms in the case of sound waves, water waves, seismic waves, etc.Another term used is the medium, but electromagnetic radiation is an exception as it needs to medium to propagate it.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
